[English]

Make way for Prince Ali

Say hey! It's Prince Ali

Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar

Hey you! Let us through!

It's a bright new star!

Oh Come! Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

Make way! Here he comes!

Ring bells! Bang the drums!

Are you gonna love this guy!

Prince Ali! Fabulous he!

Ali Ababwa

Genuflect, show some respect

Down on one knee!

Now, try your best to stay calm

Brush up your sunday salaam

The come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Ali! Mighty is he!

Ali Ababwa

Strong as ten regular men, definitely!

He faced the galloping hordes

A hundred bad guys with swords

Who sent those goons to their lords?

Why, Prince Ali

He's got seventy-five golden camels

Purple peacocks he's got fifty-three

When it comes to exotic-type mammals

Has he got a zoo?

I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie

Prince Ali! Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa

That physique! How can I speak

Weak at the knee

Well, get on out in that square

Adjust your veil and prepare

To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!

He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys

And to view them he charges no fee

He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies

(Proud to work for him)

They bow to his whim love serving him

They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali! Prince Ali!

Prince Ali!

Amorous he! Ali Ababwa

Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see

And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by

With sixty elephants, llamas galore

With his bears and lions

A brass band and more

With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers

His birds that warble on key
